"It Was You" - beautiful song / shipper's nightmare?
 

anyone actually listen to the lyrics on this one? it's a beautiful song that i don't have the time to type out, but it definitely puts the nails in the S&L coffin.

any interps on the new songs?

I said the same thing on 7Wonders. My dreams are crushed but I will always have the memories.

Those were the days....:distress:

I thought they were really nice lyrics. It's nice to get something like that from Lindsey. Shows he really loves his wife and kids.

Having said that, I hope that not all his songs become like this in the future! A few songs is cool, but I like the angsty Lindsey!

eh..
 

I guess everyone interpret's songs differently..:shrug: The lyrics don't affect my feelings about SnL either way. Very nice sentiment about his children though. I like CastAway Dreams and Show You How alot more....they seem more "Lindsey". The lyrics sound more like stuff he usually writes.

I just finished listening to the mp3s while jogging (yeah, I'm a nerd...I listen to Lindsey while jogging, 'k?), and I heard his childrens' names in the lyrics...so cool!

I figured the song was for Kristen the first time I listened to it, but I didn't hear the kids' names 'til today. I had to log on and see if anyone else heard it. :laugh: Love the song more than ever now, but "Cast Away Dreams" is still my fave among the "new" three!

Yeppers, pretty much puts the ol' nail in the S & L coffin, eh?;)

Yep I'm in agreement 'It was you' was for Kristen, as is 'Show you how'??

I think both songs have a happy upbeat feel to them that I've not heard in Lindsey's songs in a long time.

I've been listening and loving 'Cast Away Dreams'! :]

I've read peoples views as to what this song is about. Isn't it about mortality. Dying and Leaving his young family??

Oh man, really?! *runs off to listen, argh, been out of the loop the last few days*

yeah. they are all about Stevie. so obvious. the guy is obsessed.

I'm dyin' here! And now maybe a little depressed! A nail in the S&L coffin? Anyone have lyrics to post yet?

wwwooooohhhh! How did you download/make mp3 flies to take jogging from the shockwave files posted at Lindsey's site?

I'm a nerd too and like to jogg to mr.buckingham. I'd like to take these new songs with me on the go. I already preordered the cd at amazon so it's not stealing them... thanks for the methods in advance.

Yay, another nerd!

Look in the thread about listening to UTS tracks on Lindsey's site. There is a post that has the mp3 links---that's how I got 'em.

I've preordered two cds from the Atlanta and Nashville ticket presales yesterday, and I'll probably buy one on October 3rd since those preorders most likely won't ship 'til that day...so I ain't stealing, either! :D

Christmas gifts, lovely Christmas gifts...

yeah, i had these songs on loop today between classes and during the kids' bellwork. i've had plenty of time to obsess. i've also had plenty of wine so eff it with the chorus on It Was You...

It Was You

every day now
how the time has flown
every day now
i'm finally home
because i waited for a woman who was true
i waited for a woman - it was you

we would be too late
...
a future i couldn't see
the past is gone, william's here

lover we'll watch him grow every day now
i can hear the sound every day now
love is all around
because i waited for a woman who was true
i waited for a woman - it was you

we had to wait
wouldn't be too late
the past is gone
leelee's here

back in 99
our love...
...
past is gone, stella's here

Cast Away Dreams

holy night - visionary sight
there's been a change in plans
gone away - the dark cannot stay
i hope you'll understand

i won't be home tonight
i'll just slip out of sight
lay down my visionary eyes
dancing on my cast away dreams

keep yourself out of sight
farewell to the wishes that died
look for me in the morning light
dancing on my cast away dreams

magic one - all our dreams are done
i have no faith today
sun will rise in your newborn eyes
just let them slip away

i won't be home tonight
i'll just slip out of sight
lay down my visionary eyes
dancing on my cast away dreams

keep yourself out of sight
farewell to the wishes that died
look for me in the morning light
dancing on my cast away dreams

it would do no good to drown in the sea
where no one remembers their name and nothing is free
hearts will break with choices we must make
so sweetly dream of me

i won't be home tonight
i'll just slip out of sight
lay down my visionary eyes
dancing on my cast away dreams

keep yourself out of sight
farewell to teh wishes that died
lok for me in the morning light
dancing on my cast away dreams

look for me in the morning light
dancing on my cast away dreams

Thanks for the path to those mp3s. I had a long nerdy run with my man buckingham. It was an orgasmic experience. Can't wait to see him live.

Thank you for those lyrics! Now I am TOTALLY depressed. I never thought this day would come! You know, where he'd write such a touching & loving song about his wife and kids. :( ;)

Maybe his wife would be pissed if he didn't write a song about the family, then he'd have to go buy her another big honkin diamond bracelet and she might have another kid. Imagine the child support payments. ;) :lol: :lol:

If he's happy, I'm happy. And I'm glad S&L aren't at each other's throats anymore.
